Winter Time & DST

This time zone is a daylight saving/summer time zone, in the winter some places will switch to the corresponding standard time zone: CST (Central Standard Time).

Email time zone indicator: -0500

An email sent from someone in the Central Daylight Time (CDT) time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0500" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0500" does not have to be in Central Daylight Time, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).
